Northwest PA Jail & Bail
Boston Store Place, Erie
 
Meet us under the Clock for the Jailhouse Rock!

Local business and community leaders will be "arrested" and taken by paddy wagon to the mock jail site, located under the famous clock at the Boston Store Place!  Once imprisoned, the jailbirds will have one hour to raise their bail money by using cell phones to call business associates, family, and friends and ask for pledges.  All bail money raised goes toward the March of Dimes.  During the three-day event, there will be entertainment, refreshments, music, and FUN!

Jailbirds will have the opportunity to earn incentive prizes based on the amount of donations collected.  There will also be giveaways during the three-day event for good behavior!

The event is proudly sponsored by Cellular One, GE Transportation, and Froggy 94.7.

For more information, including how to "turn in" yourself or someone, contact Emily by phone at 1-800-433-5210, or by email at efritz@marchofdimes.com.

Also, we are still looking for donors of giveaways, entertainment, and refreshments.  All donors will receive special recognition.  We are also searching for large bail bonds.  Donors of more than $1,000 will have the opportunity to display signage at the event!  Please all Emily to learn how you can participate!
